Mugshots.com Writing Staff. Washington, D.C. – Talal Hamiyah is a Specially Designated Global Terrorist wanted by the U.S. Department of State as a person having committed, or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States. Under its Rewards for Justice Program, the U.S. Department of State is offering reward of up to $7 million for information leading to his capture.

Hamiyah provides support to terrorist activities in the Middle East and around the world as the head of Hizballah’s External Security Organization (ESO). The ESO is responsible for planning, coordinating and executing terrorist attacks outside of Lebanon through the organized cells it maintains worldwide. The primary targets of the attacks are Israelis and Americans.

Hizballah has participated in numerous terrorist attacks against Americans. Examples include the suicide truck bombings of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in October 1983, the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut in September 1984, and the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 in 1985.

Hamiyah is suspected of involvement in the 1994 Hezbollah attacks in Argentina because security officials recorded him praising “our project in Argentina” in a conversation with his predecessor, Imad Mughniyeh. Mughniyeh was killed by a car bomb in Syria by the CIA and Mossad in February 2008. Shortly afterwards, Hamiyah replaced Mughniyeh.

Sources give conflicting information regarding Hamiyah’s birth date and place of birth. He was born on November 27, 1952 but alternative dates of March 5, 1958, March 18, 1960 and December 8, 1958 have been reported. Similarly, he was born in Lebanon, but whether it was in Taria, Tarayaa or Sojad is unclear.

Hamiyah is a Lebanese male with dark hair and dark eyes. His aliases include Talal Husni Hamiyah and Ismat Mezarani. If you see him or have any information about him or his whereabouts, you are urged to contact the Rewards for Justice Program at 1-800-877-3927 or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

mugshots.com definitions:

Arrest or booked: An arrest is the act of depriving a person of his or her liberty usually in relation to the purported investigation or prevention of crime and presenting (the arrestee) to a procedure as part of the criminal justice system. The term is Anglo-Norman in origin and is related to the French word arrêt, meaning "stop".

The question whether the person is under arrest or not depends not on the legality of the arrest, but on whether the person has been deprived of personal liberty of movement. Including but not limited to; a traffic stop, citation issuance or initial investigation of alleged crime scene.

The word "arrest" on Mugshots.com means the apprehension of a person or the deprivation of a person's liberty.
